<h1>Fillet Documentation</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<b>Fillet</b> is a python script that bevels or fillets gcode, to provide smooth extruder movement.  It can either bevel, arc segment, arc point or arc radius.  After either bevel or arc segment, only linear commands are added.  After arc point or arc radius, the linear gcode move commands are transformed into respectively helical arc point or arc radius commands.
<br>
<h2>Example</h2>
<p>This example bevels and fillets the gcode file Hollow Square.gcode.  This example is run in a terminal in the folder which contains Hollow Square.gcode and fillet.py.</p>
